The BCIT Forensic DNA Laboratory, founded in 1999 by Dr. Dean Hildebrand, is an important part of the Institute's Forensic Science and Technology Department, home to the most comprehensive forensic investigative programs in the country.

Our scientists are not only recognized forensic DNA experts, but also dedicated educators who enhance experiential learning activities with examples from their extensive casework experience in an accredited laboratory environment.

In addition to our numerous educational program offerings, the Forensic Science & Technology Department offers select services through the Forensic DNA Laboratory. Our team's expertise assists professional investigators (police, private and medico-legal) and the general public in answering questions about human identification.
